"Rooster" wrote in message ... I intend to keep them all in the house for now,At around 5-6 months , I will take them all to get fixed. and release them into my backyard.and Feed them daily IF I get really attached by then or they're scared of the outside, I might keep them as House cats. Im also going to trap momma cat and get her fixed and release her in my yard. Thanks, This sounds very promising. Please forget about "if" you get really attached and just assume that it "will" happen. These babies are going to become *your* babies. I hope you will just move forward with the assumption that these kitties will be indoor-only cats from now on. They will be much safer that way. My very first cat was a feral cat (one that I adopted at about the age of 5 months), and he became a truly wonderful companion. Yours are younger, so they should become socialized more quickly. Many people on this group have a great deal of experience with rescue, and they can answer questions as you work your way through the process. Check with your vet on an appropriate age for neutering. The age you mentioned (5-6 months) used to be considered the optimum age. Now it is done much younger, and that would avoid any "complications" as they mature (assuming they may not be the same gender). The kittens do need more space to play. Please take the advice that some others have offered on this. Good luck! And thank you for adopting these kittens. You have just started a wonderful journey and will soon find that they give you at least as much pleasure as you give them.
